Do the hippos look Bored, or are they enjoting themselves 'wherever they are)?

What does the message on the back of the card say? "Here I am with young Pieter at Warsaw Zoo'?

I got a postcard from Wrocław (Breslau). It shows two hippos, photo taken in the mid-1970s. These hippos could live in any zoo in the world. There is no distinguishing feature in the photo that this is Wrocław, in Poland.

I CAN'T SEE IT, CAN YOU?

This is a Boring Postcard of le Moulin (the windmill) de Rosmadec, Pon-Aven in France.

I can't see  a windmill: can you?

Thanks Raphael -- is this a Postcard? If it is, it is certainly Boring. Thank!

(I feel that I am on safer ground  limiting my comments to the image you posted, rather than the very serious issues that you raise. It is not that I seek to avoid discussing them with you, but this is not really the place to do so. That's my commentary)

HOW TO MAKE A BORING POSTCARD A BIT MORE INTERESTING, PART 2

Here is a Boring Postcard of the shopping center at the Perrache Station in Lyon, France. You can't really see the shops, as two-thirds of the Postcard is given over to a hanging 'thing':

But if you turn the Postcard upside down then the 'thing' (and the shops) takes on a different perspective -- sort of an opening flower?

Photof from annual Polish Episcopathe meeting.

Catholic intellectuals in Poland since 2005, since the death of John Paul II, have argued about the definition of the JP II generation, which is faithful to his teachings. But recent experiences related to the Episcopate and Bishops in Poland show that this generation is only a corporation of bishops. Honors - money - pedophilia - moral rot. this is how the search for noble ideals reached the prosaic reality embellished with a pedophile and hiding it. thats my commentary...

HOW TO MAKE A BORING POSTCARD A BIT MORE INTERESTING, PART 1

Here is a Boring Postcard of a sort of barn (a grange) at a monastery in Rochefort, France:

Not a lot is happening there, but if you turn it on it's side it looks a bit more interesting:

(Part 2 will come after a break from our commercial sponsors)

FRENCH HUNTERS (methinks they should be shot) HIDING IN A BIRD HIDE

The guy at the top seems to be peering out of a tank whoch, seems, even by French hunting 'standards', to be an unfair piece of armanent to shoot birds.

These hunters, even by French hunting 'standards', can't be very good and/or are very short-sighted, as there is a pigeon perched on theor hide.

Vive le pigeon!
